Accuracy In Tunnel Cutting.

Remarkable accuracy is now attained
by engineers in cutting tunnels through
mountains, working from both ends.
Thus at the Musconetcong tunnel. of the
Lehigh Valley railroad, the alignment
tested to 0.04 foot, or less than one-half
inch. This accuracy is, to a large extent,
a development of recent years. In the
annals of the state of Pennsylvania it is
mentioned as a remarkable specimen Of
accurate leveling that in acircle of twelve
miles that was leveled the error was only
1.2 feet; fifty years afterward, or in 1878,
engineers engaged in running a line Of
levels between the Chesapeake and Della.

some new leveling instruments furnished

being III over ten miles, the difference
of level on the closing bench mark was

More of Kissane In Nicaragua.

NEW YORK, April "A grav-bearded sailor
man, who has seen much adventure in South
America, told World reporter, yesterday. about
Kissane's career in Nicaragua. sin the summer
of 1856" he said, II was one of William Walk
er's army of filibusters in Nicaragua, and was
stationed at Granada. A man, who gave his
name as William K. Rogers, came down on a
steamer from New York. and joined Walkers
little army. He was made assistant quarter
master or assistant commissary forget which,
but he didn't occupy the comparatively humble
position long He was smart as steel trap, and
was well educated. He had not been long in
the army before he told Walker that he was
William Kissane, the noted forger The fiji
buster didn't turn from him that account; on
the contrary, he was glad to have such bright,
energetic, pushing man as kissane about him. It
soon became known to a dozen or more of us that
Rogers was Kssane, the forger. but his identity
was not generally known throughout the army.
In the fall of 1856 Walker assumed the govern
ment of Nicaragua and organized his Cabinet.
The members of it were ali natives, mere figure
heads The real Cabinent Ministers were
Walkers shire wd men, whom ne appointed NOM
inally as assistants TO the ministers. He made
Rogers Assistant Secretary of Hacendas in
which his duties were those of Secretary of the
Treasury. He was great help to Walker, and
without him think the filibuster's scheme would
have collapsed much sooner. What sort of q
looking man was hel About five feet ten inches
high, senderly built, but active and wiry as
cat He was fine horseman. His complexion
was medium between light and dark. and his
hair was dark brown He wore little. if any
beard, and should say his age, in 1856. was
something between twenty-five and thirty years.
There was nothing particularly noticeable in
his features, save that he had very active,
alert expression When Walker marched to
Orivas he left Granada in charge
of Gen. Charles f. Henningsen, and Rogers
or kissane Henningsen was brave, honorable
man. and made war in an open-and above board
way. but Rogerss great achievements consisted
in sudden saliies on the neghboriug haciendas
He would capture the wives and daughters of
of prominent Nicaraeuans and hold them as
hostages to be exchanged for much money or
provisions Many of the women he captured
thus complained of the most dreadful treatment
at his hands Rogers always avoided hard fight
ing. Once General Henningsen tried to have
him take charge of our outpost but Rogers
quickly declared he was Assistant Secretary Of
Haciendas. not military man. and refused
to 60. When Walker was finally captured at
Orivas, by Commander Davies, of the ST
Marys, Rogers was with him. He was released
in San Francisco. The last | heard from him
was about 1867 or 68, when old ex- filibuste,
told me that Rogers was living somewhere in
southern California in fine style, having made
piles of money. Nobody in the State knew he
was Kissane, and I presume his identity has
been unguessed to this day."

Spring, among her sylvan shades
And the giadness of her glades
Once in dreamy hours was straying,
Where sweet Music with her throngs
Of glad melodies and songs
In the happy wales was playing.

As they wandered in the shades,
And he swore they should not sever.
But that Ger the blooming land,
Heart to heart and hand in hand
They should journey on forever.

For among til, blooming bowers
And the valleys bright with flowers

eminent than the year 1886. Rarely has a
year closed with more confidence. Tho
disbursement was not wholly jusu.
fed, and there is some reason
to fear that the confidence may bs
partly unwarranted. The failures for tho
year have been fewer than in 1885, aud
the aggregate of liabilities has beer
smaller, but the average for the year has
been scarcely lower, and for the last
quarter the failures have been both more
numerous and larger thane.r the sania
